The Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
my reflection, dirty mirror
there s no connection to myself
i m your lover, i m your zero
i m the face in your dreams of glass
so save your prayers
for when you re really gonna need em
throw out your cares and fly
wanna go for a ride?
she s the one for me
she s all i really need
cause she s the one for me
emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i m in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
i never let on that i was down
you blame yourself, for what you can t ignore
you blame yourself for wanting more
she s the one for me
she s all i really need
she s the one for me
she s my one and only
"We like to call this style of our music 'Cybermetal.' 'Zero' has six rhythm guitars, with two line-in 12-string acoustics, plus those wacky James Iha leads. Tracked live with overdubs added later, this is a true mover as well as the first song that was recorded for Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness, James has always said this reminds him of Judas Priest." -Billy Corgan (Guitar World 1/97)
